Imposex study on Thais bitubercularis in Merambong shoal, Johor

Imposex in Thais bitubercularis was observed in Merambong Shoal. About 18% from female individuals of the species were found to have male sexual organs, which is imposex at various stages. Stage 2 is the highest level of imposex discovered. The imposex occurrence was determined by calculated the pro...
